Starting to think about my new recordFeb 5, 2010 4:03:56 PM
I've starting to think about my next record. Since, I am in no mood, at this very moment, to envision the fund-raising prospects or musical choices, I thought I would first deal with the most important thing of all: the title. I put the question to my FB friends. I received around a 120 ideas. Mind you, I did ask for the best/worst ideas. I gave as examples: "Jill with a J" (as in Liza with a Z) and "Color me Jill". Terrible. Here are just a few of my my favs: Jagged Little Jill Jackn' Jill A Today Kind of Thing (from Bill Demain) Sister Soulbule Full Metal Pantsuit (from Gary) Just Jill or Kill Jill Vol.1
The Morning After Jill A Jillian Little Pieces and Skull Fuck
I am not sure why that last one was suggested, but everyone's opinion is respected and considered here. To be serious for a moment, I am reconsidering the whole 14 song record concept. Instead, I would like to do a series of digital only EPs -maybe each with different themes. This way, I can put out more music, more frequently, and it will not cost as much or seem as daunting as a traditional record. As far as fan- funding and bartering, I want to again come up with something fresh and fun. My last outing-jillsnextrecord-was an amazing success. I was completely taken aback by the support, so much that frankly...I'm afraid to do it again. I am always reminded that the last campaign launched before the recession, and folks had a little extra to give to "the arts". Good timing. However, Pinko Records (me) has no choice but to fan source. As last time, I ask my fans for their ideas. If it wasn't for their feedback, I would have never come up with Jillsnextrecord.com. So come on and start brainstorming with me. Ideas? xo, jill
